I'm dealing with ear wax buildup and recently bought some Clearwater ear drops. I'm wondering, how many days should I be using these drops before considering a visit to the doctor to get my ears cleared out? I'm a bit anxious because I don't want to overuse the drops or postpone the doctor's appointment if it's necessary. Any advice on this?
-You can use Clearwater ear drops for 3-5 days to soften the ear wax before visiting a doctor. If there's no improvement, or if you experience discomfort, it's best to see a doctor for safe removal.

Can you help me figure out how effective adenoid surgery is for kids, both in the short term and long term? And is it true that once the adenoids are removed, they won't grow back? I'm really curious about this.
Adenoid surgery can provide both short-term and long-term benefits for children, especially in terms of relieving chronic nasal and ear problems. It's very unlikely that the adenoids will grow back to the same size after surgery. Most children experience significant and sustained improvements, but if any symptoms return, it would likely be due to other underlying issues, not the regrowth of the adenoids.
